Thank you for your response. Since some mail clients report the time correctly, I thought that it was likely an issue with those that didn't. Based on your input, I looked at the rfc and the control system is clearly the culprit. Thank you again for pointing me in the right direction.

I believe that the date line in your E-Mail violates RFC 2822. Where you have UT, there should be a time zone offset. Thunderbird/Evolution assumes the date is UT or Universal Time which explains why you're seeing the time -7 hr since MST is UTC -0700. I suggest repairing the control system. Please report any other bugs you may find. ** Changed in: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- mail header display has incorrect time in the date field https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484542 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in "thunderbird" package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird Ubuntu 9.10 Thunderbird 2.0.0.23+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 A piece of mail has a different time when viewed on a Linux mail client (Thunderbird and Evolution) than it does on Windows Outlook or on the AOL portal. The mail was generated by a control system (not a typical mail client) and sent via AOL. The mail was sent on Nov 16 at approximately 7:37 PM. I know this to be correct. Looking at the mail on Nov 17 through various clients: On Thunderbird the date is displayed as 11/16/2009 12:37 PM On Evolution: Yesterday 12:37 On Outlook (Windows): Mon 11/16/2009 7:38 PM On AOL (via browser): Mon, Nov 16, 2009 7:37 pm Looking at the message source below, that the time on the 'Received' line is '21:37:37 -0500'. This would be 9:37 PM ET / 7:37 PM MT which is correct as I'm in MT. The 'Date' line contains '19:37:44 UT'.
